The Importance of Using Recyclable Packaging

Posted on 13/06/2012


The packaging of a product is manufactured in a way which will ensure that the item remains intact during transportation or storage. Not many people think of what happens to the packaging supply once it has been used. What usually happens is that the supply is left as waste material. The other option, however, is when the supply is being recycled so that is becomes usable again. Many recycled materials are used in packaging, such as corrugated plastic. The process of recycling packaging material has to secure that the material remains strong, usable and is not hazardous to health. It also often means giving new size and shape to the material, so that it can be used for various new purposes. There are people who don't mind buying new, and there are those who try to use "greener" materials. If you haven't decided which type you are, it's best to realize first the importance of recycling. This process is becoming more and more significant nowadays and is also increasing. To give you a clearer idea of how big of a deal this has become, we should only mention that about 75% of packaging made of wood, glass, plastic or steel has been recycled. This is a big number and it only comes to prove how important and necessary recycling is. It is a way to protect the environment and save natural resources. Societies all over the world have become so consumer-focused that they don't care whether they recycle or give packaging for waste. The increase in use of new packaging and its waste is based on several reasons:

-    with people increasing their wealth, there is increase in their purchasing power, which leads to more and more consummation of material and less thought for the environment and ways for recycling
-    the population on earth is increasing and thus it becomes harder to control the processes of purchasing and adding waste material
-    the advancement in technologies has led to the increase of use of non-biodegradable products in the producing of packaging supplies, which leads to the demand of recycling these wastes
-    packed food and fast food usually come packed in non-biodegradable packaging and this food is consumed mostly by people who don't have the time for cooked meals; this adds to the packaging waste considerably as well

The importance of using recyclable packaging is huge. One reason is because it will help protect the environment for longer and prevent some natural changes. Everyone is aware of the big negative impact of waste on the environment - harmful chemicals, gases, waste dump and factory waste are affecting nature in the worst possible way. Recycling of packaging material will lead to reducing this negative impact and decrease the destruction of forestation which leads to global warming and causes a huge harm to people's lives. Moreover, a recycling process requires less energy than the needed energy for manufacturing, which will save energy and the environment. The other reason for recycling is to actually help people. There is a huge demand for corrugated box and plastic containers in the big cities which leads to the need for recycling these. Another problem is that there is less and less space for dumping non-biodegradable waste. A general advantage of recycling will be the lower price of the material, as recycled is always cheaper than buying new. One of the biggest reasons is probably the ethic reason. We may want to live easily and not worry about recycling, but this is the only way to a cleaner and safer planet. If everyone does their little share, we will be able to preserve the natural resources for the future generations.
